Bodum French Press Chambord - 1L / 8 Cup Golden Coffee Maker - Heat-Resistant & Stainless Steel Filter - BPA-Free Dishwasher Safe Cafetiere - Made in Portugal

This cafetière is a classic shape, but has had a slight upgrade from the original design, as the lid part now has an “emergency” filter and (if you rotate the lid 180 degrees from that) a small tab which completely closes off the spout. This extension does slightly slow the rate of cooling, so is a good idea. The only downside to the addition is that the filter now has its highest point about one inch lower than before. If you need to really fill your cafetière as much as possible (to the bottom of the spout) the plunger now rests below that level, and putting it in without thinking about it can result in boiling hot coffee grounds being squirted out of the spout. The glass remains the standard shape which means that in the event of you breaking it, spares are readily available, and replacing the glass is very easy, even for people with dexterity problems. Buying in replacement parts is better for the environment, and the broken glass can be put in the “glass and metal recycling” bin in most areas. It's also easier on the wallet. Construction quality remains good. The mesh of the filter on the one I bought does seem to stick out more than I remember my older set's filter doing. However, I'm sure that it will bed in and work as well as those on my older units. Over all, I recommend this product to anyone who needs a large cafetière at a good price.

Husband is well impressed with this. A great size was larger than I anticipated, design appears to be great, handle is comfortable. Hopefully it will last as long as the previous one he had. Not too sure about holding the temp of the coffee but hubby hasn’t complained so far. Would definitely recommend.

Classic quality cafetière. Bodum the original and still the best. Bought the top of the range at a sale price. Works perfectly and with the Blue Mountain coffee I bought with it. It produces beautiful coffee when you want a change from espresso, cappuccino or lattes 😉

This is a cute, stylish-looking coffee maker that is very practical and makes good coffee. I purchased a 0.35 l (12 oz) or three-cup version of this coffee maker in copper to use as my personal coffee maker at work. It makes three cups, what this means is that there is enough volume to make three espresso-sized cups, or about 1 mug of coffee. You can vary the strength of the coffee, so you can make coffee for one, two or even three people. The glass beaker inside is removable, allowing for easier cleaning and replacing if you break it. It works like a normal French press: a three-part mesh filter is attached to a plunger, which is then is pushed down, separating your coffee grounds from the water. There is a nice sturdy black handle to carry it around. The top lid rotates, which allows you to either pour water from the spout through a little filter, or to close off the flow of water to the spout. Pros: - The colour is very attractive. It’s a nice, shiny copper that borders on rose gold and which attracted positive comments from my colleagues - The Bodum brand is famous for French presses - Small and compact - perfect for coffee for one, but also you can share with two or three people if you like (and you are all happy with tiny coffees) - Easy to clean - thanks to removable parts - Brews excellent coffee. Even my Italian colleagues agree with this, so it must be good. - Sturdy - Smooth plunging mechanism Cons: - The metal parts supporting the beaker are a bit wonky, so the beaker leans to one side a little. - When removing the beaker, the metal parts feel a bit thin and fragile - The turning mechanism of the lid was confusing at first, so I found the coffee difficult to pour. It turns out that you have to turn the lid around every time so that the correct part is over the spout. Otherwise, it will block the flow of coffee out of the beaker - The ‘Bodum’ sticker was difficult to remove, although once I did, it was fine and left no marks Comparing the pros and cons: Overall, this coffee maker is a great all-rounder because it makes good coffee easily and quickly, looks good, and is sturdy and compact. The cons are small compared to the pros. Target audience: This coffee maker would suit those who want a portable and compact coffee maker, to use either for themselves or to share with people who enjoy espresso. It would work well for anyone living in a small space such as students, or for keeping on an office desk. As it’s quite stylish, it would suit someone who cares about things looking shiny, cute and well-made (at least if you don’t look too closely!). It would not work well for people who want to share large coffees with others. Value for money: I bought this for £22 on Amazon. I think it was decent value for money. Whittards sell a very similar one for £20, which is a bit more gold-looking. Bodum specialises in French presses though, while Whittards specialty has historically been predominantly tea, not equipment, so you may be paying for Bodum’s reputation a bit there. Overall: I have not experienced any problems with this product. The only reason I have knocked off a star is because it is slightly wonky and, for the money and the reputation of the brand, you might expect more. For general office and everyday use it has held up very well, I have used it on a daily basis for a few months now with no problems whatsoever.

I am happy with my cafetière. Service was excellent Thank you

Nothing better than a Bodum. This 12 cup is a wonderful product and an excellent price on Amazon. These are £52 in the shops! I love that it hasn't changed since the 1950s, so I feel like I am in retro heaven. My Bodum arrived from Amazon perfectly packaged and is exactly what I wanted. The great thing about the Bodum French Press is that you can buy a replacement glass in the unlikely event that the original breaks. This is top quality though, and just looks classier than all the others. And of course it makes the best coffee!

While this is very nice and pretty to look at, the presser is very hard to press. My husband has to do it as I can’t press it. Also I have since seen just as nice ones in Sainsbury’s for half the price.

It’s perfect but it’s to small for me so I have ordered a bigger size

Even used with great caution I’ve now had two shatter. I gently tapped it this time. Not buying again.

One cup, as advertised.

Super produit de la marque Bodum avec finition liege (en tout cas en rendu). Formal idéal pour une ou deux tasses - pour des cafés moyen/grand de mon côté. Ne prend pas beaucoup de place se nettoie facilement, je recommande.

Ni loca recomiendo este artículo, ya que el color cobre fue mojarse con agua y salirse manchas negras y al final me quedé con él y no lo devolví porque ya lo había utilizado 2 veces. Un dinero mal gastado

Wir haben bereits verschiedene Artikel von Bodum in unserem Haushalt, so auch diesen Kaffeebereiter. Die Qualität ist hervorragend und ich erwarte wie bei dem Tee Set, dass sie sehr viele Jahre hält. Wer Qualität will, sollte hier zugreifen.
